An Architect’s Plan to Renovate Ocean Drive

The latest plans to renovate the famed Ocean Drive, would bring quite a bit of changes to this historical area, which is near the luxurious Continuum South Beach.

One of the changes that would occur to Ocean Drive, according to the latest discussed plans, would be ‘tabletopping’ or elevating the entirety of the automotive street bed to the same level of the sidewalks, which would blur the borders between the pedestrian zone and the car zone. The plans also include putting in waist-high poles to use as a border, as well as covering the whole thing in a bold pattern that would fit the Ocean Drive aesthetic.

These plans were presented by Architect Allan Shulman, who had a meeting with the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board recently, along with other plans that were also presented, including one idea which was closing Ocean Drive to traffic completely.

The goal of renovating Ocean Drive would be to improve the overcrowded sidewalks of Ocean Drive. The options of having the street closed to traffic or making it into a one-way street, would make it inconvenient for businesses along the street. Also, hotel owners spoke about how they thought it might make it difficult for people to check in and out of their hotels. Alternatively, with the idea of a “tabletop” road, drivers would still be able to drive through the area while driving in a slow-go zone.

Another idea also included widening and reconfiguring the sidewalk. Also, any of these options, would include having restaurant tables moved closer to the hotels, as to give more space to pedestrians.

As it stands now, no plans have been approved by both the board and the full city commission.

As mentioned, the ever popular area of Ocean Drive is situated close to the luxurious Continuum South Beach in the tranquil South Pointe area. If you would like to learn about the Continuum South Tower, contact Tim Allen at 305.588.2451.
